@StuffFratsLike I don't know anything about Scandal, but I'm guessing that it's just an hour of "GIRLS! Tweet about this show!" flashing on the screen -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 07:48

- "Look at me! Please! Please, dear God, someone notice me!" -- nm - TWuG Nov 18, 07:49
- That is awful to look at. - Krusty Nov 18, 07:47
- can't do facebook at work, what is it? -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 07:45 6
  - it is a ring insert piercing, under the lips, that exposes the lower teeth. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 07:47 5
    - gah! - znufrii Nov 18, 07:49 4
      - They're running out of piercing ideas and so this is next. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:50 3

    - [deleted] 1
      - So far mine has a failure rate of 0%, so I'm happy. -- nm - Shaun Nov 18, 07:50
- Still needs a price drop, imo. -- nm - Shaun Nov 18, 07:40 2
  - It got a price drop. And a smexy bundle with 2 games. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 07:41 1
    - Another one then! -- nm - Shaun Nov 18, 07:46

- 10-1 is wrapped up. The only other game in play is I need is Aaron Dobson to total no more than 4.45 points because my opponent benched Josh Gordon. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 07:48 1
  - [deleted]
- I need Gronk to not get negative seven. -- nm - CQ Nov 18, 07:41
- I need Brady to not choke out -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:39
- 25.2 from Gronk in Astro, Newton needs to score at least 14 in one league and not get beat by Dobson and the NE Def in another. - spamlet Nov 18, 07:38
- 17 pts from Gostkowski -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 07:35 1
  - actually 18. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 07:35
- I really need to win at trivia because I'm running out of laundry quarters. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 18, 07:28
- 8 points from the NE defense -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:28

        It's his first year and these are the growing pains. I'm not worried at all. I expect bad games and this was one of them. - Krusty Nov 18, 07:49
Xbone reviews are starting to surface. -- nm - Shaun Nov 18, 07:26
I was in the lift today with Jenna Coleman. I think she's actually shorter than me. -- nm - Steven Toast Nov 18, 07:18 2
- so lucky :) -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:29
- I don't know her but after seeing her pic I really wish I did. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:26
I forgot to stipulate that if I was to come to stay with Colin, there is to be no Will Ferrell movies played before noon. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 07:16 14
- You'd think that would be a given - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:22
- It's probably just Elf -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 07:18 4
  - Qale is an angry elf. -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 07:28
  - The next time I see colin I'm going to scream, " It's Colin. COLINNN! I know him." -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:26 2
    - Ha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:27 1
      - it's one of my goals to pull off that manic look and sound in the future. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:32
- you should change your name to "Dirty Mike". -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:17 7
  - ...and the boys -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:20 5
    - If Qale's inviting people over on the sly, that's his business. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:21 4
      - I don't think he'd be sly about it - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:33 3
        
        I haven't even actually gone to a gay bar yet. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 07:37 2
        
        dude! such a slacker! I would guess that Houston has some top of the line gay bars - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:41 1
        
        From my preliminary research, I'd say "bars" maybe. "Clubs" probably not. - Qale Nov 18, 07:49
  - Magic Mike? -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 07:18
So we knew that my wife's cousins lived east of Peoria. We didn't know they lived in Washington. - spamlet Nov 18, 06:56 3
- [deleted]
- Yeah, I had the same situation. One person's windows blew out in the back but not too bad. The houses behind them...gone. - Kim Pine Nov 18, 06:58
- wow. glad they are okay. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 06:57

- N/A -- nm - Steven Toast Nov 18, 07:16
- I've kind of gotten bored with games on phone/iPad. They're just not in-depth enough for me. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 18, 07:05 1
  - Yup. Most are very repetitive and boring after a while. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:30
- Cross Me and Cross Me Color -- nm - Strongbad Nov 18, 06:43
- game wise the only ones i really want are Deluxe Scrabble (with the turning board) or Cards Against Humanity. - Andie Nov 18, 06:42 12
  - how is Cards against Humanity different than Apples to Apples? or Rotten Apples? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 06:47 11
    - CaH is very similar to Apples to Apples. There are some differences in rules...but it's bascially R-rated (sometimes X-rated) Apples to Apples. - Jim Nov 18, 06:50 8
      - Hmmm is the free download still available? that might be something I can *make* my daughter. she loves rotten apples to apples -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 06:52 7
        
        Yep. You just download it and then print it out on cardstock. - Jim Nov 18, 06:53 6
        
        or buy at amazon. $25 for start e r decks -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 07:38

        Also, I just found out about this unofficial expansion -- (link) - znufrii Nov 18, 06:57 3
        
        thanks you guys. I need to get started now. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:02 2
        
        FWIW, only the base game is a download. Any expansions need to be purchased. -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 07:09 1
        
        I'm going to start with the base set - she might like something her mom " doodled" on. she's arts and crafty -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:21
    - from what i can tell it plays pretty much exactly like Apple to Apples, just different cards. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 06:48 1
      - It's basically the evil, grown-up version of Apples to Apples. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 06:51
- Clash of Clans and Candy Crush are my main two. Subway surf, Bike Race, and doodle fit are others -- nm - volnelk Nov 18, 06:36

- Candy Crush, I also like that waitress game - Flo something, I did Plants v Zombies - so fun. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 06:32 2
  - the flo game is called Diner Dash -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 06:39 1
    - Somewhere Polly Holliday is smiling. -- nm - Was Bar Was Nov 18, 06:52
- N/A. we have most of the apps and games we need and don't use the Wii that much anymore...although I did get Epic Mickey for my wife for Christmas - Beaker Nov 18, 06:30 2
  - Oh, this was more of a "what do you like?" poll, as opposed to what you might want or need. -- nm - kelly Nov 18, 06:39 1
    - ahh gotcha. like RPGs mainly (on the PC; no next gen console here) and a Hidden Adventure game that my wife got me addicted too -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:41
- I'm addicted to both Candy Crush Saga (*sigh*) and Mahjongg. -- nm - elf kelly Nov 18, 06:29 2
  - I keep getting invited to Candy Crush - I figure it must be fun - but how can I disrupt my mousehunt??? -- nm - JenBro Nov 18, 15:03
  - I sorta hate Candy Crush (I mean, I'm addicted to for sure, but kinda hate it for that). And level 500 can go eff itself -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 06:31
*hopes Welker's concussion last night wasn't a bad one* -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:17
Two tornado related thoughts: 1. Isn't this awfully late for an outbreak? 2. I am often stunned by how 'low' the fatality rate is based on the pics -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 06:17 14
- A few years back I spent Christmas in KC and we spent a couple of hours in the basement one morning. -- nm - Meg Nov 18, 07:46
- It's pretty unusual. The scariest tornado I experienced was in November when I lived in Southern Illinois (*really* Southern Illinois). - Kim Pine Nov 18, 07:19 1
  - Yeah, when we did cleanup for one set of tornadoes here, there are several pictures I can't forget. - spamlet Nov 18, 07:53
- Yes, but it can happen randomly. We had a tornado in the area on NYE a few years ago. - spamlet Nov 18, 06:50
- when I see the photos and how low the loss of life is - I always think of that Cheryl Ladd movie - Millienium -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 06:40 1
  - it is true. the damage was staggering in the pictures i've seen. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 06:54
- Lately around here, there is no "normal" anymore. When I woke up yesterday and it was 72, I kinda figured we'd have some severe weather. - Jim Nov 18, 06:32 4
  - Yeah, when we left for church I told my wife "we're going to pay for this". -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 06:49 3
    - Yep. We never got that green tint though...so I figured we were in pretty good shape. - Jim Nov 18, 06:52 2
      - Yeah, our power flashed on and off for about an hour and a half yesterday but all we got was wind. - spamlet Nov 18, 06:54 1
        
        That's always kinda freaky. We've had times where it's been pouring down rain in the front yard, but nothing in the back. - Jim Nov 18, 06:59

  - it's climate change. the seasons are shifting. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 18, 06:26 1

I never thought I'd be so happy after talking to the insurance company. Those test strips I posted about on Saturday night? Yep, they're covered 100%. - elf kelly Nov 18, 06:10 5
- woot woot! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 18, 06:31
- Wow, that's fantastic - prayformojo Nov 18, 06:11
- good deal! - znufrii Nov 18, 06:11 1
  - Seriously, especially with what they normally cost. - elf kelly Nov 18, 06:14
- good news! -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 06:10
it's that time of year... - znufrii Nov 18, 06:10
The movers are here! The movers are here! - CovingtonCat on Fire Nov 18, 06:01 2
- YAY! -- nm - JenBro Nov 18, 07:27
- huzzah! make sure you take a picture of you in the house on the very first day. you'll want that later in life. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 06:10
Joan Jett booted from South Dakota float in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade because she supports PETA -- (link) - ty97 Nov 18, 05:56 7
- 1. I didn't know they had a float in the parade. 2. Why do they have a float in the parade? - Krusty Nov 18, 06:15 6
  - It's a nationally televised event. And aren't all the floats commercial? -- nm - Roger More Nov 18, 06:27 1
    - I believe that most are commercial floats. - Krusty Nov 18, 06:29
  - The answer to #2 is $$$$$$$$$ -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 06:16 3
    - Not for this but I hate Macy's so much they're not far behind Wal-Mart on my list of hated businesses. - Krusty Nov 18, 06:27 2
      - They can't move it back to the East River - ty97 Nov 18, 06:30 1
        
        I'm getting close to taking drastic measures to ensure it's moved back this summer. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 06:32
Qale! dude ... I don't think that's the best choice of profile pic when you are interviewing jobs for peeps who don't know you! :) - JenBro Nov 18, 05:56 3
- If they're creeping Facebook, I don't want to work for them anyway. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 07:00 2
  - Though, you're right in that it was my Halloween pic I'd forgot to change back. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 07:17 1
    - :) c'mon ... you know if you were the one doing the hiring you'd be checking them out on FB - JenBro Nov 18, 07:28
Worf -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 05:54 1
- Prune juice. -- nm - Was Bar Was Nov 18, 06:07
